[MISSION FILE DETECTED]

The Signal and the Red Sand

by Jeremy Wilson — Classroom STEAM Edition

Twelve-year-old Isabella believes every machine has a language — you just have to listen long enough to find the pattern. When a forgotten ham radio begins transmitting the Fibonacci sequence, Isabella answers. In an instant, her garage vanishes, and she is stranded beneath a violet sky in Sector 4: the Rust Wastes.

A glowing system gives her one command: survive the night.

Armed with only a screwdriver, her curiosity, and the courage to keep thinking, Isabella must master Mars's weaker gravity, rescue a damaged mechanical panther named Archy, outrun a radiation storm, and descend alone into the Deep Dark.

There, an underground civilization is depending on a broken machine for power, air, and water. To save them — and find her way home — Isabella must discover how the pieces connect before the entire system fails.

But the Signal did not choose her by accident.
And this was only Level One.
